"Ye know, doan't ye, what it feels like when
ye burn yer hand . . wi' a match when ye're lightin' one of they
godless cigarettes? Aye. It stings wi' a fearful pain, doan't it? And ye
run away to clap a bit o' butter on it . . . Ah but there'll be no
butter in hell!"
-- Amos Starkadder, in the novel Cold Comfort Farm (Stella Gibbons, author)
